Product details

The C16F2TM160 is a Schneider Electric ComPacT NSX160F molded-case circuit breaker, 2-pole, with a fixed TM-D thermal-magnetic trip unit rated 160 A at 40 °C. For a 2-pole distribution breaker in a panel, that 18 kA at 415 V covers most secondary-side faults on a typical 400 V supply; the 36 kA at 240 V AC and 250 V DC ratings handle higher available fault currents on lower-voltage legs. The TM-D trip gives you thermal overload protection (L) and magnetic short-circuit protection (I) in one unit — no extra modules to fit.

Fixed-mount on a backplate, 70 mm wide, 161 mm tall, 86 mm deep. Front-connected both sides, so you land the line and load cables on the same face — handy when the breaker is deep in a panel and you don't want to reach around the back. IP40 front face keeps tools and fingers out. The toggle handle is the control type — manual on/off, no aux contacts fitted as standard.

Frequently asked questions

What is C16F2TM160's breaking capacity at 415 V?

18 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC, 1-pole conforming to IEC 60947-2. The same breaker also carries 36 kA Icu at 220/240 V AC and 250 V DC, and 10 kA Icu at 500/525 V AC.

What compliance standards does the C16F2TM160 meet?

It is designed and tested to EN/IEC 60947-2, the industrial standard for circuit-breaker performance and safety. It is suitable for isolation per that same standard.

Where can I buy the C16F2TM160 and how is it quoted?
